< Well I'm trying to rebuild an Altair but it's ending up with mostly N*
<parts! So far it has a N* disk controller and it's getting a N* CPU card
<(when I get it finished.) I have quite a bit of N* application software
<that I've bought over the 'net. Looks like it's going to be a N* in an
<Altair's skin! I'll be needing some memory and I/O cards and other stuff
<after I get the CPU working. I know I need some N* operating system disks
